The Attitude Era is one of the most fondly-remembered periods in WWE history, and the wrestlers who were stars during that time are venerated as legends today. Men like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H, Mick Foley, and Kane will always be guaranteed a warm reception from WWE audiences, with their presence a reminder of a time when so many fans first became acquainted with the sport. Though he was never WWE Champion - and he was just below the level of the six aforementioned men - Ken Shamrock was a huge part of the Attitude Era as well. The former UFC star's tenure with WWE wasn't that long - he joined WWE in the winter of 1997 and left in autumn of 1999 - but he was part of a number of the exciting moments and feuds that have become synonymous with late 1990s WWE.
